150mm aperture with 900mm focal length makes it great for deeps space objects and planetary astrophotography. The optics are in excellent condition with 0 defects and the scope is fantastic for both visual astronomy and astrophotography. At f6, it's easy to collimate and doesn't really need a coma corrector. The optical tube assembly a few small scratches here and there. Nothing really even worth mentioning, but i like being thorough with my descriptions of precision instruments. I flocked the inside of the tube to reduce internal reflections and added a mirror mask that i had to grind a little to make it fit due to the primary mirror cell design. Comes with single speed gso crayford style focuser with 2" to 1.25" adapter and a t2/m42 adapter for astrophotography. Adding a Skywatcher 22mm 70⁰ 1.25" eyepiece and an svbony 30mm f4 mini guidescope for more accurate guiding/ tracking are Also included($50 retail + eyepiece). I thread tapped the holes for the primary cell, as they were held on to the ota by screws and bolts before. This adds a much more solid and sturdy connection to the optical tube assembly, and doesn't require you to disassemble the primary cell to remove it. It would also allow you to replace the mirror mask without grinding away at to make it fit if you're going to image with it. Fantastic scope that I just never got around to using. These sell for $360 retail +tax for just the scope with rings, but they are currently out of stock with no eta on restock from gso at agena astro. If ever.. Asking $250 for the lot with guidescope, skywatcher eyepiece, t2 adapter, mirror mask and flocking upgrade. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Clear skies!
